This historic cannon stands on the edge of the Plains of Abraham overlooking the St. Lawrence River. The artillery piece commemorates the centennial of Canada’s regular artillery units and fired the first shot of a one-hundred-gun salute on October 30, 1971. Today it also marks a scenic viewpoint, with sweeping views across the river toward Lévis and the surrounding landscape.
